King and situated on Tenth, between Ann and Nun streets. The house was un occupied but it is thought some one was sleeping in it. We could not ascertain the origin of the fire. Unmallable Letters. Ihe following is a list of unmailable letters remaining in the city , pos cilice June 26th: Mrs John Jones, care of Mr -Strause Baltimore. Md; Owen McKoy, Little ougar Loat, JN U; JL A bridgeman, Uamp bell Bridge, SC. Cotton Blooms and Corn Silks. We have upon our table a tall stalk o cotton in the blooms and a ear of corn of this year's growth with silk projecting. They ., were sent to us by a colored man and a good farmer, Jesse Hill, of Spring Garden, near Rocky Point. They grew upon his farm and he tells us that he has many more of the same sort. This is creditable to Jesse, especially as there are so many idlers and drones of his color, consuming all they can get and producing nothing, and thus injuring society, and adding to the general suffering and dis tress. It always affords us pleasure to chronicle evidence of the enterprise, skill, and success in business of our colored pop ulation. Many idlers of both colors in town could find employment upon the farms in the country. Puffs. One quart of flour, one table- spoonful of butter, salt, two or more tablespoonfuls white sugar, two eggs, three teaspoonfuls Dooley's Yeast Pow- dee, and one pint sweet milk. Beat the eggs separately, adding the whites last. Bake in gem pans in a hot oven. Excursion To-Morrow. The steamer Underhill is bound for salt water to-morrow with an excursion party to go down under the management ofCapt. Lippitt. There will be musico dancing and refreshments on board, the latter to be furnished at the usual city, prices. Ihose who are longing for a lit tlejfresh air will have an excellent op portunity for obtaining it. Badly Burned Last evening, during the progress of the Calistheuk Exercises at Misses Burr & James' School Booms', a cry ol fire and distress startled every one. It came from one of the servant's houses on the premises pf Mrs. Wm. A. Wright, on Third street, just Couth of St. James1 Church, and was caused by , thd attempt of a colored woman, Susan HcHae by nams, to fill with oil a lighted kerosene lamp. The woman, herself, was badly burned, and her child, only a few years old, fearfully so. Itr is thought that the latter cannot recover. . Destructive Fire. The store and stock of goods belonging to Messrs. J. A. Buxton & Co., of Jack son, Northampton county, N. C, were destroyed by tire at 1 o'clock on the night of the 23d inst. The fire is thought to have been set by an incendiary, and the supposed incendiary was traced on horse back to one'of General Ransom's farms. Messrs. Buxton & Co. claim to have lost $9,000. They bad insurance for $6,000, $5,000 of which was with Messrs. Jno. W. Gordon & Bro., of this city, in the North Carolina Home, Pamlico and Seaboard Insurance Companies. . , Sfaslstrate's Court Douglass Simmons, colored, who was arrested by a policeman at the instiga tion of Mr. Thos H. Beck, fur obtaining goods under false pretences, was tried yesterday altera oou by Justice Harrias, and bound orer to the Criminal Court in the sum of $ 100 in default of which be was committed to jail. JXore Cotton Blooms. Since the article published elsewhere recording the arrival of cotton blooms and corn silks was written, we "have received two other cotton b'ooms from the sent in to us by a subscriber, Mr. B. T. Harden, of Fair Fluff. They were pluckfed from the fields of Messes Adam C. Olive1" and .Aaron Oliver, of White .House town ship, Robeson county, and are the first which come to us this year form that sec tion. - The "Devil " Our proof-reader is not 4had" yet as one of our venerable readers inquired this morning but the "devil" gut into an ar ticle yesterday on the fourth page relative to an assault oh a lady on Greenville Sound. The proof-reader marked an error which was magnified and made much worse in the correction. That "take" was "the devil's" and our Fore man took that take and took that "devil" to task this morning. There was the appropriate weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth for a half l our or so afterwards. Board of Trade. Threj or four years ago the Board of Trade of the city of Wilmington was established for the mutual protection of the merchants. Since then much good has accrued to them through this method of business protection aud the Board of Trade has been the means of raising a revenue for the city. At the last annua meeting, held on Monday, the Secretary's report showed the organization was in a good condition and in all probability its membership will be increased in the next month or two. The following gentlemen were elected for the ensuing term: President R. M. Mclntire. First Vice-President E. T. Hancock. Second Vice-President J. C. Stevenson. Secretary and Treasurer J. C. Munds Not Nichols. It is now thought that the person who, on ounaay last, aitacitea ana cut a lauy residing on Greenville Sound, an account of which appeared in yesterday's Review is a sailor. Since the attack was made an other person was has been with the villain. Yesterday dogs discovered the two men in a swamp near the head ofHewlett's Creek, and chased them out. The men are prowling about between Bradley's an Hewlett s Creek, stealing whatever they can lay their hands on. Persons living in the vicinity are con siderably alarmed for fear of the men set ting fire to buildings or committing dep redations of some kind. They look like deep-dyed villians, so we have been told. One of them came cut in the road yester day just in front of a horse and cart which -Sias being driven to town, but for some reason took to the woods again before the driver could get up to him. County Commissioners. A called meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held yesterday afternoon, On application, it was ordered that W. H. Walker, a - blind man, belonging to Wilmington Township, be exempted from paying poll tax. It was ordered that the Street flail way be assessed at $2,500. Ordered, that the Chairman of the Board be instructed to discharge from the County Poor House, from time to time, any such inmates wb-om hp thinks fit Subjects for discharge. A report from S. VanAmringe, Clerk of the Auditing Committee, covering a State warrant for $100, for the support of certain insane persons, was ordered received and turned over to the County Treasurer, Matters in regard, to certain sections of the Revenue and Machinery Acts were discussed by the Board, and a committee appointed to confer with counsel in re lation thereto and report at a subsequent meeting. The Board then adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman. A contract was made yesterday by the New Compress Company with Messrs. Wood and Sidbury for the erection of the warehouse at the foot of Red Cross Street. . "i I i - " . i - ' MM 14 w , Callslhenic Exercises. m. The calisthenic exercises last evening surpassed in interest and . precision those of any previous session, by the Ecliolars of Messrs. Burr and James' school. For the most part the figures were new, in tricate and more graceful. 'Since we last saw the young ladies going through this most healthy and necessary exercise, In dian clubs, halls and wands have been provided for them, which they handled with ease. The instrumental music was rendered by the youngest of Mrs. Cush ing's pupil who reflected much credit upon themselves and prodcieut precepr ire$i -The :ducU by Jliascs Annia j ;Yon Glahn and Minnie Allcn,and Master G.

W. Price, Jr., aaina? Capt. 11: 0. Brock, to recover from him the position of Chief of Police, to which Price claimed to have been elected. The c;ise was tried before thp lower court last Summer. Judge McKoy, we hink, presiding, and a decision rendered for defendant, where upon, Price appealed. It was argued last week in the Supreme Court and on Mon day Justice Faircloth delivered the opin ion in the case, confirming the judgment of the Court below. The status of the case is fully explained in the decision which we publish herewith. Justice Fairrtoth says: The question in this case arises under an act for the government of the city of Wilmington. (Private Laws 1808-69, chap. 5 sec. 9.) The Board of Aldermen consists of ten members, and all of them were present when the Bixth ballot was Jtaken under which plaintiff asserts his title. The clerk counted the ballots and announced lhat the plaintiff, having re ceived a majority of the votes cast, was elected. Some of the Aldermen immedi ately expressed the opinion that plaintiff was elected and should be so declared, but others contended that there had been no election. It was then proposed to strise out the ballot just taken and vote again which was adopted by thp Board. Held, No result of the sixth ballot hav ing been declared bv the Board, the plain tiff was not eleoted, and would not have been even if each member had voted for him. The Board alone oould ascertain the result and declare the party elected, either by doing so themselves or by adopting the result declared by their clerk. Light Wanted. Fob The Review: Considering the vague rumors floating around, it is desirable to ask a few ques tions with the hope that those who have the information will enlighten the tax payers. Which, if any, of the late city officials have been found to be in default to any extent ? i , If so, was he,or were they, bonded ofli cers? If so, who are the bondsmen ? In whoso possession are these bonds ? The public are entitled to knfjw when any one of its servants has .betrayed his trust: and not being able to see in what respect the interests of the city can bo jeopardized In any rumored case, wo de mand the facts.

CM June 24th, 187S, To the Editor of the Daily lletieto ; Your subscribers in this section have read, with proper interest, the communica- oi "jj.," from Burcaw, as published in your paper on Saturday last. They agree with him as to the merits, decided 'ability ard very extensive influence and Increas ing popularity of the Daily Review and Weekly Joubnal. The people herea bouts also endorse this statement as to tnese two papers, so ably conducted bv you as the orthodox Democratic newspa- pcia ui wia lower poruon oi me olate. They also agree with us in the statement that Miss Laura Gill is entitled to all the praise bestowed upon her by your venera ble correspondent, "B.," aforesaid, in his allusions to her as a recent teacher in this community. None but words of commen dation arc ever spoken of this successful teacher, since she has so well shown in this neighborhood her fine capacity to teach. But there are certain other portions of this communication from Burgaw that the peo ple generally unite with us in objecting to. We allude more particularly to the statement that a new school house will 'be built for her to teach in here and in time for her Lext session, in October next. Now, Mr. Editor, forjour reason, and that reas )ii is why such aa unnecessary move ment di-es not meet the general favor here a:id will not be liberal n.r conducive to ihe he I interests of education here. There is already a very dearable and very roomy and comfortable school build ing erected e.-pi essly for an academy here ; and now and tor some time past unoccu pied, it was built by the l.beral hearted citizens and true friends of education in this immediate vicinity for both private and public schools, and all will admit that, situated dirotly at Asheton station, on the' railroad, it is central in the white; school district here and in the very place where it is needed and where it will best accommodate the greatest number of scholars and will, best subserve the school wants and necessities of the patrons of education at and near to Asheton. The prejudices of a very few aside, and this is tne universal sentiment here. Plum Grove Academy is very inconvenient for a very large portion of the pupils hero ana nereaoouts. Miss Ciill is welcome to this sehool house at Asheton, or any other teacher who niiay teach in this neighborhood is welcome to teach in it. The public school money for the white children of this school'district ought to be expended upon a teacher who teaches v in this house. The continuance of Plum Grove Academy or a new s school house near by will surely be disastrous upon the prospects of a school in the school building at Asheton. So much; is J;his true that if the jproposed movement suc ceeds it will cutoff at least fifteen school children on the west side of the railroad from attending school, and in various ways will impair the cause of education here. We have no selfish ends to cain in presenting these views. We are onlv contending for the greatest good of the greatest number, and objecting to a .dis crimination for a few against the rights, feelings, wishes and interests of the many. Miss Gill is, of course, competent to teach all pupils Ipre between six and twenty one years of age, and is no doubt ready to do it. The neighborhood cannot sup port two whito schools. It will be sui cidal to attempt it as the publie school committeemen and our citizens all know. If we can all agree to lay self aside, aban don prejudice, and como together in union and harmony and concentrate upon a good teacher and a central and healthv location as is this site where this excellent school building stands, we can have such a flourishing school here as your corres pondent "B" so ardently desires and as our people here so much need and desire also.
